(Stationers' Register, Vol. 2, p. 307)

Theatrical Provenance

Unknown. However, by the logic that follows from reading White's entries as a batch acquisition from the Queen's men, Wiggins, Catalogue assigns the play "tentatively" to that company (#823).

Probable Genre(s)

Wiggins, Catalogue, "romance (or history?)"
